I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

Sept. 5, 2018

There is a quiet resistance within the administration of people choosing to put country first. But the real difference will be made by everyday citizens rising above politics, reaching across the aisle and resolving to shed the labels in favor of a single one: Americans.

More Older Americans Are Turning To Marijuana
September 12, 20185:00 AM ET
A study published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence this month suggests that increasing numbers of middle aged and older adults are using marijuana — and using it a lot.

The analysis comes from data gathered in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 2015 and 2016. About 9 percent of U.S. adults between ages 50 and 64 used marijuana in the the previous year, according to survey results. About 3 percent of people over 65 used the drug in that time period.

(CNN)The number of people around the world who have cancer is “rapidly growing,” with 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths in 2018 alone, researchers estimate in a new report.

By the end of the century, cancer will be the No. 1 killer globally and the single biggest barrier to increasing our life expectancy, according to the report, released Wednesday by the World’s Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Cancer by the numbers
The researchers used data from 185 countries, looking at all the places in the body cancer can occur and taking a deeper look at 36 types.

Based on this data, one in five men and one in six women will develop cancer during their lifetime, the researchers estimate. One in eight men and one in 11 women will die from the disease.
The Americas, however, have their own serious problems with the disease, with 21% of cancer incidences and 14.4% of cancer deaths, despite having only 13.3% of the world’s population. Europe accounts for 23.4% of cancer cases and 20.3% of the deaths, but only 9% of the world’s populationhttps://www.cnn.com/2018/09/12/health/cancer-rates-increase-worldwide-study-intl/index.html

China Plans Bullet Train To Kolkata Via Bangladesh, Myanmar
READ IN
The project had also found mention at the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) meet in Kunming in 2015.
All India | Press Trust of India | Updated: September 13, 2018 01:55 IST
Chinese Consul General in Kolkata Ma Zhanwu said Wednesday his country was mooting a bullet train service between Kunming and Kolkata, traversing through Myanmar and Bangladesh.
With joint efforts of India and China, a high-speed rail link could be established between the two cities, Mr Zhanwu said at a conference here.

“It will only take a few hours to reach Kolkata from Kunming if the rail link becomes a reality,” he asserted.

YANGON—Myanmar on Sunday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China agreeing to establish the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC), part of Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative, according to a statement from the China National Development and Reform Commission.
In recent months, Beijing agreed to a new deal with the new chairman of the Kyaukphyu SEZ vowing that the project will not lead to an excessive debt burden on the Myanmar government. Kyaukphyu is a key strategic project under the BRI, as it is expected to boost development in China’s land-locked Yunnan province. The project will provide China with direct access to the Indian Ocean and allows China’s oil imports to bypass the Strait of Malacca.

In June, State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi met with Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe in Naypyitaw to discuss bilateral relations. At the meeting, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi vowed to strengthen cooperation on the BRI with China, Chinese media reported.

China strikes back with tariffs on $60 billion of US goods
By Jethro Mullen, CNN

Updated 11:31 AM ET, Tue September 18, 2018
Hong Kong (CNN)China has fired back at the United States after President Donald Trump ramped up the trade war with his biggest wave of tariffs yet.

The Chinese government said Tuesday that it would impose tariffs on US goods worth $60 billion following the Trump administration’s announcement that it was hitting $200 billion worth of Chinese goods with new tariffs.
..
“The principal objective of the tariffs is probably not to bring Beijing to the bargaining table,” Arthur Kroeber, a senior analyst at research firm Gavekal said in a note Tuesday. “Rather, it is to force US multinational companies to pull back their investments in China, so that the interdependence of the two rival economies is reduced.”
“Against this aim,” he added, “no possible offer by China can cause the tariffs to be lifted.”https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/18/politics/china-us-tariffs/index.html

China retaliated on Tuesday as promised, following through with its own tariffs on $60 billion in U.S. goods from aircraft to liquified natural gas. That means the U.S. will start work on Mr. Trump’s previous threats to impose tariffs on all of the remaining imported goods from China, the U.S.’s biggest trading partner last year. That would mean another $267 billion of Chinese imports would be subject to U.S. tariffs.
၁. Regulation and disruption for U.S. companies in China
၂။ Consumer boycotts
၃။ Restrict or block some exports, like rare earth metals
၄။ Shift trade relationships to other areas
၅။ Shore up domestic industry
၆။ Slow investments in the U.S.

Donald Trump’s Boastful Comments Draw Laughter At United Nations General Assembly
“Didn’t expect that reaction but that’s OK,” the president said at the New York City summit of world leaders
President Donald Trump claimed his administration is one of the most accomplished in U.S. history during a speech Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly ― and the audience’s reaction caught him off guard.

After missing his initial time slot at the annual New York City summit of world leaders due to tardiness, Trump kicked off his morning speech by patting himself on the back for what he considers a job well done.

″In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country … So true,” the president said, eliciting several muffled laughs.

(CNN)The Japanese space agency JAXA said it made history Saturday by successfully landing two unmanned rovers on an asteroid.

“The two rovers are in good condition and are transmitting images and data,” a JAXA statement said after the rovers separated from the Hayabusa2 spacecraft and landed on the asteroid Ryugu.
The rovers are collectively known as MINERVA-II1. The space agency reported that MINERVA-II1 is the world’s first mobile exploration robot to land on the surface of an asteroid.
“I felt awed by what we had achieved in Japan. This is just a real charm of deep space exploration,” said Takashi Kubota, a spokesman for the space agency.https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/22/asia/japan-rovers-asteroid/index.html

‘Made in China’ no more: Chinese companies flee overseas to avoid US tariffs
PUBLISHEDSEP 11, 2018, 12:22 PM SGT
BEIJING (AFP) – A growing number of Chinese companies are adopting a crafty way to evade US President Donald Trump’s tariffs: remove the “Made in China” label by shifting production to countries such as Vietnam, Serbia and Mexico.

The world’s two largest economies have been locked in a months-long trade fight after Trump imposed 25 per cent customs duties on US$50 billion worth of Chinese goods this summer, triggering a swift tit-for-tat response from Beijing.
